How to enable camera on LiftMaster opener?

Yesterday, I installed a new LiftMaster 85704-267 garage door opener with built-in WiFi, BlueTooth, and camera. The built-in camera model is GDOCAM2.

Everything works fine, I was able to set up the MyQ app on our iPhones, HomeLink in our cars, etc.

But I can't figure out how to enable the camera built into the opener. The instructions are non-existent. The LED on the camera should be solid green, but never gets past flashing blue, which means "attempting to connect to the mobile device."

If any of you have succeeded in enabling the built-in camera, please share how you did it.

You have to hold the reset button on the camera for 10 seconds to reset it.

I'd already tried all the obvious stuff. I finally found the non-obvious solution. I removed the opener and re-added it.

But instead of adding the opener in the MyQ app as a "Garage Door Opener", I had to add it as a "Video Solution". That path enabled the camera.

One thing to be concern about the LiftMaster, especially 888LM, when the capacitors go out, it automatically opens your garage without sending notifications. This seems to be a common thing when I checked on Youtube. I was lucky since I have a security camera in my garage and a drive way alarm to also notified me when my garage opened.
